1st thing that stopped me in my tracks

    June 7th, 2011. I remember riding in that Apple red Pacifica, on the way to the venue of the glorious event. I was wearing a pink-lemonade colored dress along with my silver shoes. I was excited, but I still had the feeling of fluttering wings the pit of my stomach. My dad was driving, & unfortunately, for this occasion anyway, he was driving very cautiously. I was afraid we would arrive late. I kept rushing my dad & looking for a place to park at the same time. We actually arrived 20 minutes early, my dad got lucky. The ceremony was long, i was anxious to get to the good part. It seemed like it took hours, but eventually, that anticipated moment occured. when the principal of First Coast High school called my brother's name. my eyes lit up, a smile formed across my face, & i screamed & clapped so loud for him. my brother graduated High school:). When the hats of the newly announced alumni students flew up into the air, I thought to myself, "that's going to be me one day."
